Life is Fragile
Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles
I recently heard about some tragic losses a few of my acquaintances faced lately, and I came to realise how precious and delicate our lives are.
There are no convenient truths. No guarantees. No orders or set amounts of time our loved ones will be there for us. No promises that how we feel now will be how we feel tomorrow. No promise that the health and relative wealth we enjoy today will be with us the next morning. There is a haunting touch of fragility in every single one of our lives, and facing up to it can be terrifying.
Whether the loss of a loved one is personal or public, it serves as an intense reminder for each of us to stop, reflect, and take inventory of our priorities in life. I didn’t know the people who died in a plane crash a couple of months ago. Or…

I’m a doctor who volunteered to get one of the first coronavirus shots. Here’s why I got involved, and what the side effects have been like. – Lisa Fitzpatrick, MD, MPH Oct 20, 20 | Just Sayin’
Overall, I want people to stop listening to politicians talk about science. I’m confused about why people in the media interview politicians about scientific processes. They’re not experts in this area; doing so only serves to confuse the public, just as we are seeing now. I’m committed to using my expertise to help people understand coronavirus and the vaccine trial process. I’ve also added my voice to a multi-sectoral, multi-disciplinary consortium founded to address COVID-19 misinformation in the Black community, the Black Coalition Against Covid (BCAC). Among many successful efforts to raise awareness, in collaboration with Black Doctor.org, the organization has convened two virtual town hall meetings featuring Black doctors and scientists like me from across the country to help educate the community.

Health, Local Gov’t Ministries Uncover COVID-19 Cluster in Senior Citizens’ Home — Petchary’s Blog – Jamaica

As a member of and volunteer for the Caribbean Community of Retired Persons (CCRP), the non-governmental organization that advocates for the needs of our senior citizens, I have regularly asked about the condition of care homes in Jamaica at the weekly COVID-19 briefings with the Ministry of Health and Wellness. I have been assured that […]

Emails sent to Alaskans on Tuesday warned them to “vote for Trump or else” – Alaska Public Media
An unspecified number of Alaskans received emails Tuesday morning warning them to “vote for Trump or else,” in an incident that’s drawn the attention of the FBI and the state Division of Elections.
Alaskans reported messages being sent Tuesday to people in Anchorage, Soldotna, Homer, Juneau, Sitka, Petersburg, Ketchikan, Bristol Bay and the Fairbanks area, and news reports from Florida indicated that the same messages were sent to at least 183 voters there.
In a copy of the email shared by Anchorage resident Kane Stanton, the sender told Stanton that “we are in possession of all your information (email, address, telephone).”
“You are currently registered as a Democrat and we know this because we have gained access into the entire voting infrastructure,” said the message to Stanton, a 36-year-old hardware store manager. “You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you. Change your party affiliation to Republican to let us know you received our message and will comply.”
The emails also said the senders would know how Alaskans voted. But that’s not possible: The Alaska Constitution guarantees the secrecy of residents’ ballots.
Identical messages were sent to residents of Petersburg, in Southeast Alaska, and in Bristol Bay, in Southwest Alaska.
Federal law bars voter intimidation. But officials would not release details about their response to reports of the emails Tuesday, or speak to the seriousness of the threat.
